[QUOTE="Matcauthonrh, post: 548285, member: 43576"] Opening thread: Hi. I'm a nub at computers but I happen to be pretty good at a game called World of Warcraft. =P However, I have to play on very high ping internet due to my location (Uruguay, South America,) and I'm trying to figure out ways to reduce my ping. I recently came across a website called lowerping.com which, although mostly targeted at Australians, seems to offer great promise if I can figure out how to use it on a Mac. However, my computer literacy extends not far beyond facerolling my way to victory in WoW. =P Lowerping apparently works by using SSH to connect to a SOCKS proxy which tunnels into WOW's servers. (Keep in mind I have NO idea what I'm talking about, that's only what I've gathered from reading.) Windows users use PuTTy & FreeCap to connect to Lowerping's servers. They don't have Mac support because I don't believe the two creators have any Mac experience (no insult to them, just the way it is,) so I'm trying to figure out a way to connect to their servers on a Mac. Here's my thread on their forums: [url]http://lowerping.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=279[/url] You'll see some of the option I explored, but I don't really know what to do. Would appreciate any help. Thank you very much [/QUOTE]
